Stanford University Announces Plan to Pay Tuition For Lower Income Students
If you've been putting off applying to Stanford because of the $47,000 price tag, take another look. Stanford recently announced a new plan that will pay the tuition ($36,000) for students with family incomes below $100,000. Students with a family income below $60,000 will not be expected to pay anything for tuition, room or board. The program will also eliminate the need for student loans.
As the latest entry to the number of colleges and universities dipping into the endowment to try and bring the cost of education back to the realm of possibility for most, Stanford has upped the ante with this far-reaching plan. Hopefully many other institutions with huge endowments will follow suit.
